Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large  banana, sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 ½ cups  strawberries, hulled (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup  milk of choice
  • ½ cup  plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons  honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 4–5 ice cubes 

Method
 

  1. Peel the banana and slice it into chunks. 
  2. Pour the milk into the blender first. Starting with the liquid at the bottom helps the blades catch everything faster and makes for smoother blending.
  3. Add the yogurt next.
  4. Add the sliced banana and strawberries into the blender on top of the milk and yogurt.
  5. Add honey or maple syrup if you want a sweeter smoothie.
  6. Secure the lid on your blender. Start at a low speed to pull everything down toward the blades, then gradually increase to high.
  7. Blend until the smoothie looks completely smooth—no big chunks of fruit, no pieces of ice. This usually takes 30–60 seconds depending on your blender.
  8. If it seems too thick and the blades are having trouble moving, stop, add a splash more milk, give it a stir with a spoon, and blend again.

Notes

Take a small sip and ask yourself:
  • Is it sweet enough? If not, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
  • Is it thick enough? If not, add more banana or frozen strawberries and blend again.
  • Does it need more strawberry flavor? Add a few extra berries.
